I just got my HD set up on Friday and have been "playing" around watching the different channels. I really love ESPN-HD. I have a couple of questions, though.
1. I have noticed that often (mostly during commercials) the audio is WAY out of sync with the video. This is not true on the regular ESPN (in fact this is true for the "regular" broadcast channels vs. their HD counterparts). do you guys see this as well? IS there a way to fix it, or is it in the transmission? Prime example: I am currently watching the ESPN 25 celebration with Chris Berman...whenever Berman is on screen and talking, everything woks fine...however, when the "taped" segments are shown, it is almost unbearable to watch the video that is so terribly out of sync with the audio.
2. If I am on an HD channel, but the picture is only in 4:3, does that mean the show is not in HD (but is upconverting)? Only full 16:9 shows are in HD? So ESPN HD is NOT HD all the time? I have a good TV that tells me the resolution...on the HD channels it says 1080i (I assume this is because I told the receiver that 1080i is the maximum resolution I can see). But, on regular channels, my screen says 480p. ESPN HD always says 1080i, but I don't think that is necessarily true. Can someone explain this better to me?
